Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Expressions in Ink Suite! I’m excited to show you my version of the popular Pinwheel Tower Card AND tips for decorating with Gilded Leafing.

A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube step-by-step directions for creating this card using the Artistically Inked Stamp Set, the Artistic Dies, and the Expressions in Ink Designer Paper. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

OH!…Please ignore all the “hiccups” at the start of the video.
AND…good news for those of us in the US: The Expressions in Ink Paper is back in stock as of this afternoon! Yay!!

I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
